Editing general cube properties

On the General tab, you can edit the cube description. The description will be displayed in the tree. Here you select the cube type and the measure dimension of the cube. Select the Accelerated check box to enable the accelerators of the cube.

When Designer updates a cube there may be values for dimension elements that no longer exist. After the update, these values are no longer available.

For example:

Account number 1001 has a value of 333 for 2009/04.

If account 1001 is deleted and the cube updated, the value 333 is no longer available and cannot be restored. This requires a manual correction, for example, increasing the value of another account by 333.

To help identify values that require to be corrected manually, select the Create rescue file for missing elements check box. The rescue file logs values and their previous coordinates in the database.

The rescue file contains these information:

1001,2009/04,333,#E65 (#E65 is the OLAP error code for a missing element).

In this example, a user must investigate whether element 1001 or element 2009/04 is the cause of the error.
